villaajax Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 It's the comic book film I've least wanted to watch. Not an inspiring character, one of the weakest of Marvel's front line roster, and I can't escape the feeling if Marvel hadn't wanted to make an Avengers film, a Thor movie would not exist. It's no Street Fighter Movie ...luckily, it isn't. The Street Fighter film makes Mortal Kombat look Oscar worthy. It's one of the worst films I've ever seen, and I've seen AVP2. Twice. Only good thing about that film is Raul Julia. You don't know what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I liked Thor, agree with chindie he's not a great character and IMO he hasn't got legs, but iron man 2 was a bit shit wolverine was **** dire CA and the GL both look just about ok and xmen 1st class could easily fail I wouldn't be surprised if Thor finished the year as the best comic film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggaman Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if Thor finished the year as the best comic film It will be hard to beat, being that it nailed the tone perfectly. Hopefully 'Captain America' will be a pleasant surprise too. I'm not overly impressed with the trailers for that, yet I wasn't overly impressed with the 'Thor' trailers and that turned out well. I was always a big 'X-Men' fan and am looking forward to that too, even though it will probably be crap. I swear that Fox are trying their hardest to ruin the X-Men in any way possible. One thing that does seem quite promising is the cast. Especially Fassbender as Magneto and McAvoy as Xavier. No Cyclops and Jean Grey is bloody stupid though...

Fox are trying the upmost to **** up the marketing though, by seemingly putting a 12 year old in charge of the posters. Vaughn has already had a stern word to Fox about them.

I hope he doesn't mess it up. I enjoyed 'Kick-Ass' and 'Layer Cake' but I thought 'Stardust' was poor. I just hope he can bring his best to it. Apparently it will have a 'Bond' film feel, which may work. I'm just concerned about the whole tie-in to the Cuban Missiles Crisis and how that will play out. Plus I'm not convinced by some of the character choices, or the time period, being that it is supposed to be a prequel to the original X-Men films. The ages would make no sense... The posters were truly awful and I'm not quite sure what was going on with them to be honest. These two could have been quite good if they had left the faces off them: The faces just seem to be randomly stuck in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you admitted your a film snob but i'm wondering why? I just think comic book films are never as good as the comics themselves. Anyway, Planet of the Apes > Comic book films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen the 60s version, I have no interest in the newer one. Tim Burton's remakes are a bit crap, look at Charlie and the Chocolate Factory :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 15, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 15, 2011 When I heard that the Burton film changed the story I refused to watch it. The whole cyclical timeline of the originals is what makes them so brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes Tim Burton hasn't made a decent film since the early 90s or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
